www.myspace.com/andy_mara [http://www.myspace.com/andy_mara] www.myspace.com/allwheeldrive08 [http://www.myspace.com/allwheeldrive08] I've been dj'ing ever since i was able to afford to buy records. As a kid i'd mix tapes using one turntable from a regular Hi-Fi System. I'd dub the tracks together using the pause button on the cassette deck. It taught me how to read records . . . the architecture of Music is as mind blowing as any major piece of construction. It's a mental journey that i enjoy playing. I'm also more sound oriented that lyrically. Don't get me wrong . . . i love Vocals. They just have to be complex and/or really moving. You won't catch me playing "Peanut Butter Jelly". Production is something i've only been doing for a year (since Summer 2006) and i know i have much to learn. I started using "Reason" and while i still do i, have begun to teach myself "Ableton" (live5) . If anyone has any tips for me using either program, my ears are as open as my mind!! That's all for now . . . . i may add more from time to time. Mmmmm Music.
